“This is the one and only reason why I was created. And this is the most essential realization, as it defines everything else I do or believe. It defines all things around me, and everything I experience in life.”

The Prophets! And they were the closest to Allah. Every hardship is good for you-if it brings you closer to Him!

When we can’t marry the person we had in mind, our inability to look beyond may even blind sight us from someone who is in fact better for us.

This world isn’t perfect. That means it isn’t perfectly good; but it isn’t perfectly bad, either. The ease comes with the hardship. Shift the focus of what you see, and your experience of this life will change.

My worth as a human being is measured on a higher scale: a scale of righteousness and piety. And my purpose in life-despite what fashion magazines say-is something more sublime than just looking good for men.

You’ve been given status today, but never forget where you came from. You came from dirt and will return to dirt. You will be on that day as you began: just you and Him.

Don’t expect your spouse to be perfect. He/she is only the dunya version of themselves. Their ‘perfect’ version is saved for jennah.

Before anything can break your heart, it must first own your heart. Stop handing your heart to dunya-it’ll stop breaking it.

We will suffer the moment we take our eyes off the End and get lost in the means.

Many years ago, our father Ibrahim (AS) made a choice. He loved his son. But He loved God more.

We will be asked, “what did you love most in this world? What did you spend life doing? What did you run after? Will it last? The things that you chased, will they last? Will they help you, or will they hurt you when the illusion of this life has passed?”

My value as a woman is not measured by the size of my waist or the number of men who like me.

Everything is as it should be. God’s design is perfect.

There’s something amazing about this life. The very same worldly attribute that causes us pain is also what gives us relief:

People think it’s the mind that drives us. It is the heart. The mind is a slave to the heart. So check the condition of the heart.

You never have to be scared of the trials but of standing alone in the trials without shelter (Allah’s help).

The more blessings, the more tests. And the greater the blessing, the harder the test.

I’m happy being around my family.

The world that you can go walk outside and walk around the block. That’s reality. The reality that’s being talked about is something else entirely.

I’ve become more advanced and I’ve enhanced my vocabulary. All around artist development.

I got more songs with Gunna than anybody – that’s like the only person who I’m around!

My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you.

See, there’s only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that – the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.

I got the name Lil Baby because I always hung around older dudes.
